"Now that Sunni Waqf Board has said that they don't agree with what Kapil Sibal said in court, it is certain that Sibal spoke in his capacity as a Congress leader, with the blessings of their high command. Shameful posturing by Congress on Ram Temple issue!" he said in a tweet.
Sibal, a Congress MP and lawyer, is representing the Sunni Waqf Board in a legal dispute over the matter in the Supreme Court and yesterday sought deferment of the case until after the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
Locked in a keen contest with the Congress in the Gujarat polls, the BJP has latched onto Sibal's view to target the Congress over the emotive issue. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also attacked the opposition party on the matter in his public meetings today.
